Conclusion

There is no doubt about it. The ASUS Ares II is the fastest graphics card ever created, with more than 64,000 points in 3DMark Vantage and almost 21,000 points in 3DMark 11. And that's with a single graphics card. We're not going to mention anything about value for money and so on, because that's no the point of a product like the Ares II.

ASUS have proven with the Ares II that their engineers are capable of designing and developing extreme and very high-end products. The decision to use watercooling makes the Ares II even more unique, and takes the concept of dual-GPU cards to yet another level.

So if you have £1,199 burning a hole in your pocket and a PC capable of getting the most out of the most extreme graphics card ever created, then the Ares II will give you the best performance that current graphics technology has to offer.
